The New York Knicks are NBA Champions, and Craig Carton and Chris McMonigle are counting down the hours until the first Knicks championship parade in franchise history! 🏆🗽

On WFAN, Carton explains why he believes the celebration will be one of the greatest moments New York City has ever seen, while Big Mac can't wait to see Jalen Brunson, Josh Hart, and the champions partying through the Canyon of Heroes.

With Shaun in for Evan, Tiki Barber helps set the stage for a huge Knicks parade eve in New York City. The excitement around the Knicks championship opens the door to a bigger citywide question: are the Knicks most likely to win again, or is another New York team ready to break through next?

Shaun makes the case that the Yankees could be the next local team to deliver a title, pointing to their young talent, dominant pitching, and the possible championship energy spreading through town. Tiki pushes back by focusing on what made the Knicks special, from resilience to killer instinct, and asks whether the Yankees truly have that same edge.

Excitement builds for a massive New York Knicks ticker tape parade as merchandise sales soar to record-breaking levels. Comparisons are drawn between this historic moment and the 1994 Rangers championship, highlighting the deep passion of New York sports fans across the tri-state area.

Craig and Big Mac debate whether former coach Tom Thibodeau deserves an invitation after helping rebuild the franchise before Mike Brown delivered the championship.

The Knicks are NBA champions, and Jalen Brunson’s place in New York sports history is suddenly the debate of the city. Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber react to Brunson delivering the kind of moment Knicks fans waited generations to see, then ask how far one championship can carry him among New York’s most beloved sports figures.

The conversation turns into a passionate climb up the New York icon ladder, with Brunson compared to Tiki, Curtis Martin, Alex Rodriguez, Henrik Lundqvist, Patrick Ewing, Mike Piazza, Mark Messier, Eli Manning and Derek Jeter. Evan argues that leading the Knicks to a title carries a rare weight in this city, while Tiki and the crew push back with points about longevity, legacy, playoff greatness and what it really means to become a New York legend.
